20 years ago I was told to hit the brakes hard and to be perfect push the clutch in just as you're about to stall, so you get engine braking all the way down. In a real emergency stalling is not the worst outcome.

This persisted at least into WWI, I remember reading a notification to a family of their son's death after a shell had landed in his trench noting "his injuries were wholly internal". Somehow I doubt being directly hit by artillery left much of anything.

Confusingly, while the baked good rhymes with 'gone' or 'cone' (regional variations), the important rock rhymes with 'boon'.
